Your Teachers Need a Win — from cultofpedagogy.com by Jennifer Gonzalez
If you’re short on ideas, here are a few things you might compliment them on:
- Relationships and rapport with students:
- Decision-making:
- Clarity and delivery:
- Classroom management and logistics:
- Lesson planning:
- Design:
So this is my ask of you as an administrator: Choose 10 teachers on your staff and make it a goal to give each of them one piece of specific, positive feedback this week. For some, you might only need to think about what you’ve noticed during your past observations of them. For others, you might need to arrange a short classroom visit — make sure the teacher knows ahead of time that you will ONLY be looking for things to compliment them on. Even better would be to ask them to choose a time when they’re doing something they think you’d like to see.
